For the past at least 24 hours there has been one IP address constantly on my site. the IP is 64.140.49.XX
This seems a little strange. I'm curious if anyone can explain it.
Thanks,

xx is not part of a valid IP addy.
Maybe somebody is genuinely insterested  U could block them in a .htaccess file if u want to

Check the server logs if you have access see what the user agent claims to be. See what pages are being servered. Could be a bot thats indexing your site. turnitin bot was stuck on my site one whole day then kept coming back so I blacklisted it after a little digging revealed that it has a history of bad behaviour with dynamic sites particularly the perl version of hamweather where its been known to run and index every zip code in the database. Now that pissed a few people off!
There are some good lookup sites/tools around like samspade.org |

I wouldn't if it were me. If I suspected somebody as a possible hacker, I'd block them and post their IP and Hostname in full to advertise who they were for other ppl to beware of.

It was a spider crawling my site. Hung around the site indexing everything in site for two days. It was a spider for turnitin.com, an antiplagiarism web service.
Thanks for your input!!! |
